Hi all

I've made application that is working on LAN (something like intranet).

Is it possible to make one computer as server, and all files that applications uses (including php, jpg, csv ...) to be only on that computer (server).

To be more clear explanation I need to to build local server.

Things are working now in way that every computer in LAN (8 computers) has installed apache server, and all files (php) that applications uses.

regards ddragas

Yes, you need to give the server pc a static IP address, then the other PCs will use that address to connect to it.

For instance, if the IP is 192.168.1.34 then the other PCs will connect via http://192.168.1.34/

FYI, you might want to post this in a different forum or ask a mod to move it as you will get more help from the server nerds.

You could install a DNS server on this "server" and make an entry just for itself to make it easier. You may not even need a DNS server as the computer's name may be good enough for the machines to find it.
